Defy the Stars
by Claudia Gray
This book is everything I love about scifi. Earth as the bad guy, after destroying our planet and colonizing others. Questions of personhood and sentience when AIs are part organic and very advanced but are still compelled to follow programming. At what point of consciousness does an AI become a person? Excellent characters to root for and fall in love with. A villain who has done both wonderful and terrible things. I only knew Claudia Gray for her Star Wars novels like Bloodline, but this original work is fantastic. It’s technically YA just because the MCs are/appear to be teenagers, but it doesn’t read like one at all. I’m jumping straight to the next book in the trilogy. Fyi I didn’t love the audio, I preferred reading it as an ebook.
